Super Bowl Sunday Open Forum!

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t even know the Falcons were in the playoffs until after they made it to the super bowl. I was always more of a college football fan back when I used to do stuff. I love Georgia and Clemson and I didn’t even watch Clemson win the national championship.

It would be great if the Falcons beat the Patriots. Because, yankees.

But I’m not holding my breath. I feel like we are in a season of sadness and disappointment. I’ve learned not to have hopes and expectations.

So um, #RiseUp or whatever. I’m not sure I’ll even watch. Plus, I have to work. #RHOA is oddly airing a new episode even though Atlanta is in the Superbowl. I’ve noted that Nene, Cynthia, Porsha and Phaedra are all there. She by She broke can’t afford to get there. And Kenya is in NYC for some reason pretending like.. well whatever.

My husband and I just aren’t football fans, so instead we watch Kitten Bowl on Hallmark Channel and Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet with our kids and turn it into a fun “party” with them all day by making themed snacks and crafts to go with. If you’ve never watched either of these, I highly recommend them. It’s basically just kittens and puppies playing with toys and each other on mock football fields and the cute factor is about 400 on a scale of 1-10. Hope everyone has a fun day no matter what you are watching or doing!

I defend Kitten Bowl and Puppy Bowl to the death. It’s cute as hell! And all the animals are in foster care and shelters and up for adoption. TAFKAY, I hope you watched. Don’t worry, TT, I have my bitch side still firmly in place. I just REALLY like kittens and puppies!! Also, I have no idea about the Super Bowl, but hearing Trump is rooting for the Patriots, I am now internally cheering for the OTHER team all the way. Go Falcons!

Good luck to your team. As a yankee from Maine, I am rooting for the Patriots. I’m expecting a very good game, regardless of who wins. But I’d love to see the Patriots win a ring for Tall Man in the center!

You know I’m a masshole so I may be the minority here, but it would be sadness and disappointment if the Pats lost. Watching Goodell hand that trophy to Brady would be what it would be like to watch Sheree hand over the truth about Chateau Sheree to you, or any accountability from Vanderpump to anyone she’s played in her (well skilled) game. In other words, it would be AHHMAZING ❤❤GO PATS!!!!

Yesss!!! Happy Super Bowl Day fellow masshole!! 🙂 How great will that be???? I miss Gronk too but hopefully Hogan and crew can step it up #onemoretime. Omg to see Goodell hand him that trophy would be EVERYTHING!! It will be a great game for sure, Falcons are a great team so this one should be a nail biter. I’m 6 1/2 months pregnant and would prefer to not deliver tonight if it gets to be too much of a nail biter!! Haha

“President Donald Trump predicted his “friends” the New England Patriots will walk away Super Bowl champs following Sunday’s big game against the Atlanta Falcons.

During a FOX News interview with Bill O’Reilly that aired before kickoff, Trump was hesitant at first to pick a winner, saying he “hates to make predictions” before he settled on Tom Brady’s team to win by eight points.

Trump ran down his list of acquaintances in Patriots camp, saying he liked both New England owner Bob Kraft and Coach Bill Belichick, and that he considered star quarterback Tom Brady “a winner” and his “friend.”

“You have to stick up for your friends, right?” the president said after picking the Pats to win their fifth ring of the Belichick-Brady era.”

A proud card carrying masshole. What a fabulous game. Both teams were amazing. So so happy the Pat’s won. Don’t care what the rest of the world thinks of them I LOVE me some Tom Brady. I missed Gronk. And I hope waiting in the wings is the delicious Jimmy G. They were all awesome and I didn’t sleep a wink after the game and had to be at work at 6:00 for a double shift (16 hours) and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!!!!! Bruins and Celts not to good this year so we are counting on our boys of summer to bring another Championship home. WHOOP!!!!

I can only imagine the drama involved from the masshole perspective. Y’all had three quarters of trepidation and despair and then suddlenly the skies parted and it was all like a bad dream. You woke up and it looked possible. Then it REALLY looked possible. And then it was real.

Don’t feel too badly, Tamara. I actually watch football and didn’t realize that Atlanta was a contender this year until they beat the Packers for the conference championship. They seem to have had a very quiet rise this year, but good luck to both teams today.

Thanks for the heads up that several of the RHOA “wives” are in town this week. There have been many good reasons to stay away from downtown and the stadium this weekend, and this news is another addition to my list. I’ve also avoided watching any of the local newscasts this week, as they’ve all felt solely focused on SB hoopla, celebrity sightings, and the like. Thank goodness for radio.

The garden centers and nurseries are full up with tomato plants and other fun things to start getting in the ground, so I’m looking forward to going to my favorite center today and getting started!

So jealous here. I’m quite north of the border and won’t be planting out for another 3+ months. Doesn’t stop me from dreaming though. Visited several nurseries today and did a lot of on-line scouting. My herb seeds have been planted and my houseplants haven’t croaked yet, so all is good.

I am assuming Sheree went to the 95 Super Bowl, if Bob was playing then. I bet Porsha is covering it for Dish Nation. I hope we win but damn it’s Brady. I would like our chances better playing Anyone but him! At any rate I will watch , even though it’s gonna be nerve-racking.

I just ran into Nene at the Atlanta airport on my way back to Boston. I wouldn’t have recognized her with her shades on, but there the blonde hair and green jacket with the wings on the back gave it away. I said hey to her and she kind of mumbled something and kept walking. Lesson learned.

I didn’t see her with anyone. Gregg definitely wasn’t with her. She was coming down from concourse B and hopping on the shuttle while I walked to concourse C. She seemed to be alone and deep in thought on her phone. 🙂 I’m guessing most housewives don’t want to be bothered on their downtime, although Cynthia was very friendly when I ran into her one time.

She posted on IG that she was running around for 12 hours yesterday with Cynthia . They were going to Superbowl stuff in Houston. She wore heels, Cynthia wore flats and her feet were paying for it today. She probably just wanted to sit down somewhere.

I feel sad for Kroy Biermann today. He played for the Atlanta Falcons all those seasons and can’t play in the Super Bowl today. I remember Kim telling him after he hurt his Achilles and went to training camp after that injury “this is your year, love muffin!” I hope the Falcons bring home the win today.

Lady GaGa is incredible and I loved her Tiffany commercial just now as well. Waiting for the Martha Stewart/ Snoop Dogg commercial. Only show where I watch the commercials.Now if the Falcons win, then a great evening. altogether!! No new housewives tonight but a 10 minute sneak preview of next weeks show.

Lady Gaga was THE SEOUL OLYMPICS kind of SPECTACULAR. It was unbelievably amazing. She addressed the political situation PERFECTLY through song. Then she said she was there to make everyone feel good. Which we all needed.

I just cried the whole thing. Not idea why exactly. Water just started gushing from my eyes.

It was the most incredible thing. How can she still SING after dancing and bungi jumping?

Lady Gaga just showed Madonna and all the other politically active musical artists how to make your point and appeal to EVERYONE. Patriotic songs, songs about inclusion, (I believe she changed up the words to Born This Way… did I hear her say Lebonese in there?) and then moved right in to forgetting your troubles and dancing it all off.

Ohhh I can FEEEL the sincerity! And to answer your subsequent comment, which was how do you blow a 21 point lead in the first quarter, my answer would be “because you suck!” but I really think it was because the Patriots sucked in the first quarter, then re-grouped, got behind the G.O.A.T. and kicked your ass. SO FUNNY that you say we played a good coin toss-you’re aware that’s the rule and that’s how the cookie crumbles, right? You’re aware that your defense is supposed to be able to stop a TD if you want a chance to get the ball back in OT, right? is this just more whining about losing? For someone who says you weren’t even really a fan, you sure seem hot and bothered and ready to call fans of the other team names. T’aint fitting, just ain’t fittin.
